When I first started up the "diet" I was having SERIOUS withdrawls.. the first few days the headaches were horrible.. I thought there was no way I was going to do this! I had cut out sugar and it was killing me!
BUT the headaches are gone! I am not craving the same crap I was before. I am a teacher and I see people getting the junk food out of the machine (which used to be me) and I want to say "Don't eat that!" but I know they probably wouldn't like that.
ETA: I has also started drinking diet sodas... then I was read about the sugar substitute and how it wan't that great for you either. So those are now few and far between.
I am just so proud of myself for making it this far and am down 8 lbs. (not a lot, but its a start!) I can't remember my exact start date, but I joined this forum around the same time.
My DH works offshore and is gone ever other week. When he got home yesterday he said he could tell in my face I had lost a little. I was so excited!
So if you are just starting up it IS possible! Once the bad stuff gets out of your system you will feel SO much better. I even crave WATER now.
You guys have been a GREAT motivation!
Headaches are GONE!
<-- what I did to sugar! LOL
They're gone now and I had forgotten all about them until you mentioned it.
